PACIFICA'S PERFECT PARCEL

Pacifica City Council meetings start with this acknowledgment of the sacredness of the land:

"The City of Pacifica acknowledges that we occupy the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples, who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. We honor the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples for their enduring commitment to Mother Earth. As the Indigenous protectors of this land and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramaytush Ohlone have never ceded, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory. We affirm their sovereign rights as First Peoples and wish to pay our respects to the ancestors, elders, and relatives of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples."

This means that as caretakers we will not truck in waste dirt, dump it in the quarry, where it washes into the soil, the creek, and the ocean -- and call it RECLAMATION. Right?

Right!

I think there may be a shell mound behind our home near our property line. My neighbor is landlocked but has big plans that would involve an easement from us. I hope this prevents any disruption to sacred land.
